I was not putting much expectations into this new wave but I was surprised how good this was. Especially, the price.

For some reason, the new wave got included in the 50% discount sale for older Rise of Cobra sets which makes this just right.

I have been waiting for a decent Leatherneck and, finally, it is here!

For the doubting Thomas in everyone, here is a close up of the price tag and code. Obviously, KZ did not waste time getting these out. In hindsight, they could also do away with the tag had they known that I was passing by ]:)

Without further ado, I bring to you the Rise of Cobra Alpha Vehicles Wave 3 found at Retail!

Wetsuit was not one of my favourites but soon became one only because of his daring exploits in Marvel Comics.

His original gear was sparse and he was not even armed. Later on, he was re-released in a manner befitting his personality. Mines on his shoulder and a gun, finally.

The 25th anniversary Wetsuit is what he ought to be in the first place. Interesting colours with the teeth to boot.

Of course, I could not resist making his helmet more accurate so…

Finally!

My shipment has come to port. Excessive ? Maybe. Some are orders from a buyer or two but most is mine.

I am looking forward to the Defense of Cobra Island sets. My Cobra staffing problems are solved!

As for the Assault on Cobra Island set, I have a use for the extras. I am conceptualising new characters for my own line using G.I. Joe parts. Something I have always wanted to do I mentioned earlier.

This is to make up for my 3 Cobra Morays still in storage.

Albeit reflagged for G.I. Joe

I really can’t wait for the long fun-filled weekend to come :D

Well, with the abundance of Snowjob at SRP, I have decided to make a custom GI Joe.

Unfortunately, I am rather pre-occupied with reality so I have decided to follow the trend.

I have decided to outsource :D

Last year, I went through the trouble of saving up stickers and arranging shipping for rescuing the 25th Anniversary Doc action figure. G.I. Joe’s only full-fledged Doctor.

Previously, I featured the 2 Docs I finally “liberated”.

All was well.

Now, Guess what I stumbled into ?

More Docs!

Apparently, Cobra has cloned Doc and found no more use for him and is practically giving him away!
